Summary
When women thought that the use of alcohol was ruining families because money was being spent and they were getting more aggressive they were in charge of a movement that was meant to ban alcohol. The idea of this was to get rid of the crime but in making prohibition that is how mobs and gangs were introduced. It all had to do with the illegal buying and selling of alcohol.
